Articles in the Times and Post on two of the players

The New York Times and the Washington Post are currently running articles on two critical players in the ACA litigation. First, Kevin Sack of the Times has this profile of Ian Gershengorn, the attorney in the Department of Justice who manages the government team defending the ACA, and who has argued each of the cases thus far to reach a hearing. (He will be arguing in Pensacola next week.) Second, the Post's Rosalind Helderman has this profile of United States District Judge Henry Hudson, the presiding judge in Virginia v. Seblius. (Football fans may recall that Judge Hudson was also the one who sentenced Michael Vick.)
